Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt return with Emmy-winning performances in the very pivotal fourth season of Mad About You.
While Paul (Reiser) has found a job as a full-time documentary filmmaker at the Explorer Channel, Jamie (Hunt) has opened a new PR firm with her longtime friend Fran (Leila Kenzle). It is a busy time in the Buchmans lives, and things are about to get crazier when they plan to start a family. Despite a series of frustrating false alarms, the couple are determined to do whatever it takes to conceive: including virtually nonstop sex and malodorous herbal remedies! The obstacles don t stop there as they face everything from Pauls sudden unemployment to their respective brushes with marital infidelity, and as the pressure on their marriage increases, their relationship begins to unravel.
Sophisticated, sharp and incisively funny, Season Four won an Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series. Guest stars include Yoko Ono, Laugh-Ins Arte Johnson and Hank Azaria. All 24 Season Four Episodes.

… with infinite patience. At this point, I don’t ask for any extras, no fancy booklets, nothing! Just press the discs and sell them with the cheapest packaging you can imagine… I (and apparently several others) will buy it right away. The series had a loyal following, so much so that it kept the show going for seven seasons. Well, we are still here! If not for anything else, a quick IMDB glance points to the striking fact that this show earned 63 awards nominations and 36 wins, including multiple American Comedy Awards, Directors Guild and Screen Actors Guild awards, several Emmy’s, Golden Globes, and the list goes on. So, for the sake of ART, itself, please release it. In case inescapable reasons prevent that, I would hope Sony could simply offer an explanation to the fans. Take it as a matter of politeness towards your customers (yes, we are the folks at home watching your shows and helping you make money). It is fine, we can take a solid justification, we are not exactly Cavemen (pun intended). That way, at least, we will not feel like fools waiting for nothingness. And for the record, season four ranks very high in my list of favorites, not just for its formidable ending, but also for the intelligent and subtle way the seeds for that ending were planted throughout the entire season, offering much more context and meaning to the final episodes (evidently, this is in no way captured by the collection dvd set). What else can I say? I encourage more people to use this public space and signal their interest in this excellent show. Thank you for reading.

Here we wait for season 4 of one of TV’s great sitcoms, while “That 70′s Show” is already up to season 7! Sad.

Every rubbish ever seen on TV seems to be (re-)published on DVD these days, but one of the greatest productions ever, decorated with price after price, awaited by a whole fan community, is delayed for years and years and years… what’s going on here? I guess we’ll never know. But me and my wife keep waiting (and buying every MAY-season that will be published).

HOORAYYYY!!!! As of February 23rd 2010, it has been announced (per [...]) that Shout Factory are committed to releasing the remaining 4 – 7 seasons of this comedy gem. I have no doubt I will be lining up with a whole legion of “Mad About You” fans for the Complete Fourth Season set, as it contains the heartfelt three part “Finale” story arc. Once again…. HOORAYYYY!!!!

After so many years of waiting for the complete set of Mad About You I hope that Sony just sells the rights to a company who will give this Emmy award winning show the respect it deserves! Chuck the first 4 releases, including the best of, and start from scratch. Obviously Sony doesn’t want the hassle!
My theory is that they released the first season too early, when DVDs were new and TV series were just beginning to be released. Sony was put off by the low sales but didn’t stop to consider that it might not be the show but perhaps their own lack of marketing strategy and quality of the initial release. If Mad About You had started being released in 2004 or 2005, with a good quality package, I believe the sales would have been much higher. Too much time goes by between releases and people forget about it. The real issue here is Sony.
I am just beyond frustrated because this is my husband and I’s favorite show of all time and yet the only one that isn’t available amidst all the JUNK! Sony, get your act together or sell the rights to someone who is willing to do this series justice!
